Dancing On Ice newbie Ashley Roberts launched a thinly veiled attack on Samia Ghadie for making a move on her skating partner Sylvain Longchambon.

Speaking to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning earlier, the DOI judge said she would never dream of mixing business with pleasure, unlike the Corrie star who allegedly ditched her long-time beau for the French professional.

Asked whether any of the hunky pros had caught her eye, she replied: ‘No, I’ve been professional.’

But that could be because the former Pussycat Doll is too preoccupied with all the tension on the judging panel to focus on the toned torsos whizzing past on the ice.

Quizzed on how it felt to be stuck between Karen Barber and Jason Gardiner – who openly dislike each other – when the show airs on Sunday nights, she said: ‘Sometimes I feel there’s a lot of tension either side. Karen did throw out a little hand gesture the other night, and I was like “uh oh!… here we go!”.

‘They differently have different opinions! Or different ways of communicating their opinion… ‘

But the I’m A Celebrity star was quick to defend Jason’s sharp tongue.

She continued: ‘He has no filter – not one at all! But that’s Jason and that’s his opinion, so…’

And like Jason, Ashley also thinks this year’s bunch still have plenty more to give.

‘I would like to see them crack open a little bit more – not physically, but performance-wise – but its still early on… so you just don’t know who will step up,’ she added.

This isn’t the first time Ashley has appeared to take a swipe at Samia and Sylvain’s romance.

Earlier this month she criticised Samia for making a move on Sylvain, knowing he was seeing Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe.

‘I’m not here to judge her personal life – but I’d never even like a person who was with someone else, ‘ the US hitmaker jibed. ‘The answer will always be no. It’s just not right.

‘Finding them attractive is one thing, but as soon they’re attached it’s a no. There’s no trust otherwise.’
